Chapter 52: Birthday Gifts
Two days later, the He family really came and picked up He Tai and He Zhao'er.
As soon as the two brothers and sisters left, Lu Shuyi felt a lot quieter, at least she didn't have to worry about it in the future, she would run into the two brothers and sisters when she walked around the garden.
After the Hou Zhu incident, the third wife told the outside world that Lu Shuqing was frightened and wronged because of this incident, and she would cry incessantly at night, and no one could persuade her.
Pei's asked the doctor to treat Lu Shuqing's illness again, and sent someone to the temple to tell fortunes and make hexagrams, and the fortune teller said that Lu Shuqing was offended by the Yin people, and Pei's determined that the Yin people were Aunt An's mother and daughter. After more than ten days of commotion, Fang gradually stopped.
During this period, Aunt An kept calling herself sick and closed her door every day. It seems that he is also afraid that Pei's will deliberately find fault, and he has the intention of avoiding Pei's.
In fact, these things are clear to anyone with a discerning eye, Lu Shuqing is not sick at all, these are just Pei's anger and Aunt An, and they deliberately made it.
Wu's health gradually improved, and under the persuasion of Lu Shuyi, Wu gradually took over the housework from Aunt An.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Shuyi helped the Wu family to find the people who had been inserted by Aunt An one by one, or let them make a big mistake and sell them, or send them to an inconsequential place on duty.
In this way, the filth of those smoky miasma will gradually converge.
Those maids and women are the grass on the wall, and they are the most opportunity. The east wind is big with the east wind, the west wind is big and follows the west wind, and now I see that the Wu family has the right to the second room, and after seeing the Wu family, the attitude is much more respectful than before.
Seeing the wind makes the rudder not last long.
Lu Shuyi and the Wu family both knew it, so they didn't treat these people as people who could be reused, and only sent them some simple tasks to do on weekdays, that is, they would not be idle, and they would not let them come into contact with substantive things, so they would be safe.
In August, the fragrance of cinnamon is fragrant, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, which happens to be Mrs. Lu's 60th birthday.
Mrs. Lu had a very good birthday, which was the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. The whole world celebrates her birthday.
This year coincides with her 60th birthday, and the scene is more lively than in previous years.
In previous years, Mrs. He's birthday banquet was organized by Mrs. He, but this time it was different from the past. After all, it is the 60th birthday, and if something goes wrong, it will inevitably fall into laughter. Mrs. Lu thought about it, and originally wanted to teach this matter to the He family and the Wu family to handle it together, but the Wu family was in better health, overworked, and afraid of the recurrence of the old disease, so she handed over the matter to the He family and the Pei family to handle it together.
In her previous life, Mrs. Lu did not have a sixtieth birthday, after all, not long after the Wu family died at that time, she was a mother-in-law, and her daughter-in-law's bones were not cold, so how could she celebrate her birthday happily, so that there was less longevity.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the juniors in the house began to prepare birthday gifts for Mrs. Lu, in order to please the elders at the birthday banquet.
Although Lu Shuyi didn't think so, there were still parents in the end, so she couldn't embarrass them!
So she still decided to be good, and asked Mo Ju to set up an embroidery frame a month ago, preparing to embroider a picture of the crane's birthday for Mrs. Lu.
In her previous life, her female celebrity did not do well, especially embroidery, which was the worst among the girls in the Lu family.
So when she asked Mo Ju to support the embroidery frame, Mama You really pinched a cold sweat for her, and persuaded her around the corner: "Third Miss, let's send something else to the old lady!" Isn't your handwriting very good? As...... It's better to copy a scripture book and send it to the Buddha, the old lady must like it when she sees it. ”
Lu Shuyi supported her forehead, while asking Mo Ju and Dongmei to prepare embroidery threads, and smiled at Mama You: "Do you think I will make a fool of myself if I don't embroider well?" ”
Mama You coughed lightly and whispered: "It's not because of this, the slave just thinks that your handwriting is good, so ......"
"So what, so?" Lu Shuyi wrinkled her nose and sat in front of the embroidery frame: "Your thoughts are written on your face, don't try to hide it from me." ”
The corners of Mama You's mouth twitched, and she smiled embarrassedly: "Since you can see it, the slave can only speak bluntly." ”
“…… The second wife has been sick for so long, but you haven't gone to Luo Niangzi to learn embroidery for a while. Mama You reminded: "You haven't studied for so long, can you embroider well?" Slaves...... The slave and maid really didn't dare to rest assured. ”
"If you don't worry, just ......" Lu Shuyi smiled lightly and didn't speak again.
Mama You didn't understand what Lu Shuyi meant, so she could only secretly worry about Lu Shuyi in her heart every day.
Lu Shuqi in the long room, Lu Shufang in the second room, Lu Shuqing in the third room, Lu Shuyun and Lu Shuhui in the fourth room learned that Lu Shuyi actually wanted to embroider a crane and send a birthday picture as a birthday gift, and they all listened to funny jokes.
Lu Shufang even said to the maid next to her: "Speaking of which, my third sister is really bold, she can't carry a few catties and taels of her own, and she dares to embroider a crane to send a birthday picture to the old lady as a gift?" The corners of her mouth overflowed with pride, and she mocked: "I really don't know whether to live or die......"
Jin Yin's eyes were also full of confusion: "It stands to reason that the third lady's handwriting is good, she should go to copy the scriptures......"
“…… That's she's stupid. Lu Shufang sneered and said, "Since she wants to embroider the crane to send a longevity picture, then I want to see what good things she can embroider." ”
Lu Shufang is most proud of her embroidery, although she is only nine years old, but since the age of four, Aunt An has taught her embroidery hand-in-hand, and has been learning with Luo Niangzi since the age of six. Luo Niangzi often praised her, saying that her embroidered things were lifelike, and the stitches were even, and she was the most outstanding one among the girls in the Lu family.
Lu Shuyi wanted to embroider a crane to send a birthday picture, but she naturally disdained it......
Lu Shujing couldn't understand what she was doing, others were taking out what they were good at to please the old lady, and her sister wanted to show the old lady what she wasn't good at......
No matter what others say, Lu Shuyi still sits in the room every day and embroiders birthday pictures.
On August 12, Lu Shuyi had just finished embroidering the picture and was preparing to move her muscles and bones, when Dongmei came in and said: "Grandma is back, and she is talking to the old lady in Fushouju at the moment!" ”
Lu Shuyi's eldest aunt, Lu Zhaoping, married to Yizhou, and her husband was Su Can, the eldest grandson of Su Jingrong, a salt merchant in Yizhou.
She remembered that in her previous life, her eldest aunt was thirty and pregnant again, but she died after a difficult birth. If you think about it, the eldest aunt should have been pregnant for a month or two at this time, right?
Lu Shuyi thought secretly, and asked Dongmei, "Who is the eldest aunt coming with?" Can someone from the Su family come to deliver it? ”
Dongmei chuckled, lowered her voice and said, "It was sent by the eldest aunt himself, listening to the old lady's music, saying that our aunt and grandmother are not at ease to let the eldest aunt and grandmother come alone...... It is said that the aunt and the aunt are blended with oil in honey, and they are sticky......"
"No nonsense." Mo Ju, who was waiting on the side, glared at Dongmei: "It's getting more and more unruly, it seems that the third lady is too loose......"
Dongmei stuck out her tongue and said, "Miss Su Jiabiao and Young Master Cousin are here, go and take a look!" ”
Su Liangyu and Su Ziwen are also here?
In their previous lives, the two of them often followed Lu Zhaoping back, and in her memory, she didn't seem to have quarreled with Su Liangyu, nor did she have a close relationship, and when they met, they just nodded and said hello.
And Su Ziwen is too active, he bullied her a lot in his previous life, and always secretly pulled her hair when he met. When he was ten years old, he secretly plucked a beaded flower from her head and tied it to the ears of the cat raised by the third wife......
She was also angry at the time, and went up and bit Su Ziwen hard. For this matter, Mrs. Lu punished her for copying scriptures, and she never left the Lanyue Pavilion for a month. And Su Ziwen's arm still has her tooth marks......
When she thought of Su Ziwen, a big living treasure, Lu Shuyi had a terrible headache, but she couldn't talk about it if she didn't see it......
While hesitating, Lu Shujing walked in, she smiled and blushed, with a happy face, and said when she entered the door: "Sister, Cousin Liangyu is here, and Cousin Wen, he is also here, let's go and have a look!" ”
In my memory, Lu Shujing and Su Liangyu played very well, Su Liangyu painted a good hand, Lu Shujing loved to paint, and the two were like-minded bosom friends. No wonder this little girl was so happy when she heard that Su Liangyu was here!
"Okay, but is Mother going?" Lu Shuyi asked Mo Ju to serve and changed into a peach-colored Su Jin jacket, and took Lu Shujing's hand and went to the door: "Go see my mother first, she may have to go over too!" ”
When Lu Shuyi and Lu Shujing arrived at the Champs, Wu had just cleaned up, and she chuckled: "I was just trying to ask Mama Zhao to call you!" Your aunt is here, and your sisters will come with me. ”
"Cousin Liangyu is here too!" Lu Shujing squinted her eyes and reminded with a smile.
Wu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You kid, every time your cousin Liangyu comes, you are so impatient. I can tell you that you are not allowed to pester your cousin Liangyu again this time......"
Lu Shujing stuck out her tongue: "I know, I'm not messing around." ”
Wu smiled slightly, took Lu Shuyi and Lu Shujing and hurriedly went to Fushouju.
Before I arrived at the door, I heard a burst of laughter in the hall, and I could vaguely hear the words of the third wife, He Shi, praising Su Liangyu: "Liangyu is really getting more and more handsome, you look at this body, the girls of the Lu family are not as good as Liangyu when they are tied together." ”
Lu Shuyi remembered that the third wife had asked to marry Su Liangyu for her nephew in her previous life, no wonder she praised Su Liangyu so much, it seems that she has long been in love with Su Liangyu.
The mother and daughter entered the main hall, and Lu Zhaoping sat beside Mrs. Lu, smiling and making fun of Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu's face was flushed, and she was very happy to see it.
Lu Zhaoping's eyebrows and eyes are similar to Mrs. Lu's, but the outline is much softer than that of Mrs. Lu, and her voice is also very gentle, and she said to the Wu family with a smile: "The second brother and sister are here, I heard that you are not in good health, so you should take care of it." ”R1152
